Los Rodriguez:

The Rodriguez is a family musical group whose story began with the experience of first- generation migrants making a new home in Australia while remaining deeply connected to their cultural roots. With a longstanding commitment to social justice, they have used song as a way of bringing people together, preserving culture and supporting causes that speak to human dignity, equality and community. Today, The Rodriguez includes a new generation, sons and daughters born or raised in Australia, who have come to understand and value the experiences of those who came before them. New Song movement and Andean music
